The only victims are the ones being shot by stolen firearms? Really? The person who was robbed is now not a victim? In what warped reality is this believable? How very liberal of you to decide this.
And yes, if you wanna risk YOUR life not wearing a seatbelt who is anyone to tell you not to. Same with the helmet law which is now gone. You wanna chance it then by all means do so. Doesn't affect me in the slightest.
We should outlaw drinking, flying, swimming, eating and anything else that can cause you to die or be injured right?

You guys should probably start protesting the gun stores that have been robbed in the past year. What have there been in this area? 4? If they only had a safe right? Criminals gotta eat, who are we to judge them for how they do so.

Sure, let me go make my sign... "Please keep your doors unlocked before you leave, that way you don't have to pay for a new window too. The criminals are going to steal your guns anyways, so don't even try to protect them."
Also, why do you keep assuming that we feel bad for the criminals? I don't think anyone has condoned what they are doing but that's the assumption you keep making.
Not actually true... in the slightest. Actually, you're likely directly impacted more-so by seatbelt and helmet usage than firearms theft. If you own a car or motorcycle, you're taking the financial hit for those people who took the risk, and came up on the bad side of luck... but not so far on the bad side to be dead.
Because you are blaming the victim, oh I'm sorry they aren't victims anymore, for being robbed. Stay the hell out if people's homes and there's no issue. "But but we live in a bad world". We have for decades but why do the victims, oops sorry I keep forgetting they aren't victims now, get blamed for expecting their property to be their property.

Was speaking on his personal well being. Financially we are screwed whether he wears one or not. My current insurance rate thanks to 2 different instances of idiots totalling my cars while parked show that. One happened to not be wearing a seatbelt because he was reaching on the floor board to get his sandwich. The other lady was wearing one. My rates doubled both times.

This is easily remedied by just banning guns. Why should law abiding citizens have access to something that a criminal can steal and commit a crime with.
There are some seriously strange conversations on here lately. I gotta wonder if some people are hitting the egg nog a bit too much this season.

Nobody said they aren’t a victim. Again, that was an assumption because we didn’t treat everyone in this example with the same level of sympathy.
Let’s consider a thief is walking down the sidewalk and looking into parked cars for valuables to steal. There are four cars parked there.
Car 1: the doors are locked, the windows are up, and the valuables are not laying out in the open.
Car 2: the doors are locked, the windows are up, but they left their wallet or laptop sitting on the seat.
Car 3: the doors are unlocked or the windows are down, and there are valuables on the seat or the floor.
Car 4: the doors are locked, the windows are up, and there are no valuables left in the car.
Who is most likely to become a victim in this situation? Probably car 2 and 3. While car 1 is still at risk of having valuables stolen, it is less likely than car 2 or 3. Car 4, like car 1, is less likely to become a victim. But if they do become a victim of a broken window, at least they were not a victim of stolen property as well.
In any case, the criminal is doing something wrong by going into that persons car, there is no denying that and I’m not arguing that point. What my argument is is that just because something might happen does not mean that we should make it easier on the criminal or make ourselves more vulnerable to that happening.
